1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis characterizing patients receiving tube feeding following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement between 2004 and 2012 at Erciyes University Hospital in Turkey. SUBJECTS/

methodsPatients above the age of 18 years who required long-term enteral tube feeding were studied. All PEGs were performed using the pull-through technique by one experienced endoscopist. Demographic, clinical outcomes and PEG-related complication data were collected.

resultsOf the 128 subjects studied, 91 were men (71%) and 37 were women (29%). The mean age of this patient population was 54 ± 19 years. The most common reason for PEG tube insertion was the inability to consume oral diet due to complications of cerebrovascular disease (27%), while cerebral hypoxia, occurring after nonneurological medical disorders, was the second most common indication (23%). A total of 70 patients (55%) had chronic comorbidities, with hypertension being the most common (20%). The most common procedure-related complication was insertion-site bleeding, which occurred in 4% of patients. Long-term complications during 1 year were insertion-site cellulitis, gastric contents leakage and peristomal ulceration, which occurred in 14%, 5% and 0.5% of patients, respectively. There were no PEG insertion-related mortalities; 1-year mortality was unrelated to the indication for PEG tube insertion.

conclusionsPEG tube insertion was a safe method to provide enteral access for nutrition support in this hospitalized patient population.
